2100+ tbred-b heat question

justinvalencia · 04-May-03, 08:06 PM

i have a 2100+ tbred b overclocked to 2.25ghz @15 x 150 at 1.725V.... its getting 46 c idle and 51 c full load.... i have an sk-7 with an 80mm fan but im not sure of the cfms... does this seem like normal temps for my overclock? it runs pretty darn stable but if i could get the temps down, could i get even higher oc's ..... or just more stability?

i have arctic 3 paste...

Those temps are OK, though i would perfer to keep a chip below 50 degrees when overclocking, but you are still within AMD safe range.

What is your airflow like in your case? This can have a big factor in what kind of temps you achive? Ambiant temp?

To test true stablity, download a program like Prime95

And keep that running for a few hours, or days..... if you are truly stable you shouldnt have any errors.
